Andy Grove, chairman of microprocessor behemoth Intel Corp., and C. Everett Koop, former U.S. surgeon general, may seem unlikely collaborators, but Tuesday they will share the podium in San Francisco to launch Intel's Internet Health Initiative. "It's one area that touches the lives of virtually everyone, and at the same time it's underrepresented on the Net," said Steven McGeady, vice president and director of the initiative.

Dr. C. Everett Koop, U.S. surgeon general during the Reagan and Bush administrations, will visit Cal State Northridge Friday, joining former professor Robert C. Horn in a noon book signing. Horn's book, "How Will They Know if I'm Dead?" is an account of his and his family's struggle with Lou Gehrig's disease. Koop wrote the preface to the book. The disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, was named after the New York Yankees baseball great who was its most famous victim.

Surgeon General C. Everett Koop says he has been barraged with hate mail from fundamentalist Christians over his report calling for sex education to curb the spread of AIDS.

A long-awaited report released Thursday by Surgeon General C. Everett Koop reiterated his stand that current research on the psychological impact of abortion on women is inadequate and that no conclusions on the effects can be drawn. Testifying before a House subcommittee, Koop said that more research is needed to "increase the level and quality of information about the reproductive health of women."

The leading association of physicians who treat women opened a campaign Tuesday to help battered women, and Surgeon General C. Everett Koop said domestic violence has become an overwhelming public health burden. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said it will try to raise the awareness of its 28,000 members to the problem and will give them information on how a doctor might help an abused woman.

Surgeon General C.
